The DC Cannabis Coalition plans to pass out thousands of free joints on Inauguration Day to be smoked during President-elect Donald Trumps address. Exactly 4,200 joints will be given away to inauguration attendees, and at exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds into Trumps speech, all 4,200 will be lit. 420 is widely recognized as a marijuana code or symbol.
Organizers of the event are calling it a protest, but it is certainly not an anti-Trump event, or even an attempt at disrupting the ceremony, WUSA 9 reports.
Adam Eidinger, founder of DCMJ, an integral group in passing initiative 71 in D.C., said the main message is its time to legalize cannabis at the federal level.

The Alabama senator has suggested that marijuana is dangerous and plans to enforce federal law on the plant.
